Plus new level of performance and reliability achieved through proprietary network

LEESBURG, VA

Omnilert®, LLC, maker of e2Campus®, the leading unified emergency notification system for education, today announced the release of e2Campus version 3.0. The new version unifies disparate emergency alerting systems and other campus assets into one management console for improved crisis communications. e2Campus now complies with the OASIS Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) version 1.1, the industry standard for exchanging emergency information between other CAP-compliant devices and services. Version 3.0 also operates on a new advanced architecture that has now become the industry benchmark for speed, reliability and scalability.

e2Campus 3.0 solves the challenge schools face today – how to utilize all available on-campus and off-campus communication channels during an emergency or crisis. Schools that utilize separate communication technologies find themselves with many challenges, because each technology has its own console, operators, procedures, politics, and contact data sets. This complexity makes it very tricky to coordinate a timely emergency response.

e2Campus 3.0 is faster and more reliable than any other system on the market today. As the first company to offer an integrated emergency notification system for education, e2Campus has applied experience gained through years of ground breaking innovation. As part of the "extreme redundancy" initiative, e2Campus 3.0 runs on a nationwide network of geo-dispersed Tier-1 data centers, as well as multiple SMS, voice, email, and other third party services.

Nick Gustavsson, Chief Technology Officer at Omnilert, LLC explains, "The new 3.0 ecosystem of services and vendors is a game changer for the entire market. With over 70 domestic mobile carriers and over 60 partner products supporting e2Campus, the system is far more powerful than anything that has preceded it."

New Features in 3.0

Universal Send: send text and voice based alerts to all endpoints from one screen.

Alias Control: ability to change the “message from” name across any service on an alert-by-alert basis.

Time Zones: control the time stamp on alerts to your time zone.

Custom Reminders: create custom notices to be sent to users 30-days prior to user account expiration.

e2Campus 3.0 provides detailed message delivery feedback across different modalities. Admins view real-time reports tracking the status of alerts to determine if they were received and which devices received them.

Authorized officials can trigger alerts from any Internet connected Mac, PC, PDA, iPhone, BlackBerry or smartphone. If that’s not possible, authorized senders call a toll free number and verbally provide proper credentials to initiate the alert. The call-in service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Notifications can be live or pre-scripted in text and voice formats to reach a multitude of devices and services:

Mobile phone (SMS text message)

Phone (voice message)

Desktop pop-up alert

Loudspeaker & PA system

Facebook & Twitter

LCD/plasma digital signage system
